As promised we are going to do some body weight exercises today.
The daily workout
We'll start by doing some warm-up consisting of some jogging, short sprints, lunges, and push-ups. The warm-up should take you 5 - 10 minutes.
Short sprints can be done in the following fashion:
- find a park with a lot of grass to run on
- take a ball with you
- throw the ball as hard and far as you can
- pretend you are a dog and try to catch the ball as fast as possible
- alternatively: a frisbee works too
Then we jump right into :
- 3 * 5 pistol squats
- 3 * 5 pull ups
- 3 * 5 dips
- 2 * 5 hanging leg raises
- 2 * 5 handstand pushups
Take a minute of rest between each set.
I'll rotate between pistol squats, pull-ups, and dips.
Then I'll do the handstand push-ups.
Lastly, I'll do the hanging leg raises.
Try to hold your grip for as long as possible during the last set of hanging leg raises.
If you cannot perform handstand push-ups either do normal handstands for a minute or work on one of the handstand push-up progressions from the tutorial video I linked above.
Summary
Overall, this workout should take you 40 minutes to complete.
We did some ballin' exercises to reinforce the training we did with the weight yesterday.
A combination of body weight and weight training will really help us grow strong.
Hope you have a lovely day,
